Lokpal Bill tabled in Rajya Sabha, no consensus yet

Basic Three

1. The Lokpal bill was taken up for discussion in the Rajya  Today(  May 21 2012) two days before the budget session ends. 
2. Bill was referred to a parliamentary panel or Rajya Sabha panel for consideration as parties have failed to come to a consensus on the Bill's provisions.
3. Last night, the government had circulated a notice of amendment to the Bill, especially on the Lokayukta provision, leading to speculation that the measure could be brought for consideration and passage.(see side effects of this amendment ) 

Soon after the Bill was tabled, the Samajwadi Party moved a motion for referring it to the select committee. The BJP, however, objected to it.So The government later moved motion to refer the Bill to the select panel. Those who refereed bill to parliamentary pane commented that Bill should be referred because of lack of consensus over major issues like lokpal's dominance over the CBI etc.

Editor's View: We want to ask two things

1. Why the Bill is always discussed in the last days of a particular session? Last time  in winter season of parliament bill was discussed just three or two days before season's deadline. Similarly now too in budged season the bill is tabled just two days before it ends!
2. Why there is never a consensus over some issues which makes lokpal bill powerful?
   consensus will occur both Government, its allies and opposition will not hurdle the procedure. Hence, lack of consensus reveals that political class weather Govt or opposition don't want to pass this bill! 

The Bill was already sent to parliamentary panel and now again the same drama is being played, this will do nothing but delay the passage of bill to infinity! (also see Politicians are fooling Public over lokpal matter)
